Grandparents Go to Class with Local Kindergartners

A fun day for kindergartners at Windemere Park Charter Academy in Lansing Twp.

Their grandparents came to school with them to see what they're learning.

The day started with breakfast and moved on to art.

"I think the students love to see their family in the school, so hopefully this will help our students have a sense of pride for themselves," says Principal Yvonne Thomas. "I think it's just wonderful to have grandparents in the building just to see what school is like for students today."

The principal says having grandparents understand what children are doing in school can also bring a family closer together.
